Kiss – 'Venus And Mars/ Rock Show'

 

[Lynch]

Some of those artist / song matchups are quite intriguing.

I mean, just looking at the artist, in my head I can almost hear a few of them singing the song and doing it well

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

Some of those artist / song matchups are quite intriguing.

Agree with that. I'll definitely be checking out some of those covers on Youtube at some point, but I won't buy the album. I'm not a huge fan of these kinds of albums.

Kiss – 'Venus And Mars/ Rock Show'

yeah, that's interesting. I can hear Gene doing Rock Show, but I just can't place who would sound right with the Venus and Mars parts of that track.

 

[Jet]

Agree with that. I'll definitely be checking out some of those covers on Youtube at some point, but I won't buy the album. I'm not a huge fan of these kinds of albums.

I'm not either. I'm also surprised at how many people are singing. I cannot wait to hear Alice Cooper sing Eleanor Rigby.

 

[Sunny]

I'll be checking them out on youtube too. Some of the songs I think are well matched with the singers

 

[Jet]

The only two that I'm really not surprised at are Jeff Lynne and Steve Miller, since they both worked with Paul on Flaming Pie.

I wonder if it's true that as a bonus track Kiss recorded the classic Wings track...Love Take me Down (to the Streets). I would love to hear their take on that one!
